Abstract
The fully digital active array radar uses a wide beam for effective mission performance within a limited time. This paper presents a convex optimization algorithm that adjusts only the phase of an array element. First, the algorithm applies a semidefinite relaxation technique to relax the constraint and convert it to a convex set. Then, the constraint is set so that the amplitude is fixed to some extent and the phase is variable. Finally, the optimization is performed to minimize the sum of the eigenvalues obtained through eigenvalue decomposition. Compared to the application results of the existing genetic algorithm, the proposed algorithm is more effective in wide beam design for a fully digital active array radar.
